Third set of human remains found in Lake Mead
A another set of human remains has been found in Lake Mead, marking the third discovery in as many months
As America’s largest reservoir, Lake Mead, drops to its lowest water level in 85 years, it is also exposing secrets of the past after a third set of human remains were found.
Covered in mud and left to rot, the person was in a barrel and died by a gunshot wound all the way back in the 1970s.
At this time, Lake Mead was a hive of activity and almost completely full – reaching a depth of around 30 feet.
Now, it’s a whole different story.
Human remains in Lake Mead aren’t the only concern
Lake Mead supplies water to around 25 million people in the Western part of the U.S. and generates electricity for 350,000 homes.
These residents are now all at risk.
The lake has been receding for years and is now filled to just 27 per cent of its capacity.
Despite recent localised monsoon rains, experts believe it’s still not enough to restore the catchment to its former glory.
“Over 90% of water in Lake Mead comes from the upper basin. While rains are really helpful at changing water demands locally, they’re not really impactful to the lake at all”

NASA says the receding water levels are just another illustration of climate change.
Top researchers believe this could well be the region’s worst drought in 12 centuries.
New satellite images have prompted warnings to surrounding states.
Residents are now being told make immediate cuts to protect future supplies as well as power generation.
But in the interim, and as Lake Mead dries up, secrets of the past will just continue to be revealed.

AI stocks surge amid market shifts and spending warnings
AI sector drives economic growth; Meta adjusts strategy, Palantir’s valuation sparks questions, and Nvidia leads amid rising competition.
AI sector drives economic growth; Meta adjusts strategy, Palantir’s valuation sparks questions, and Nvidia leads amid rising competition.
The artificial intelligence sector continues to be a major driver of growth for both the U.S. and global economies. Companies at the forefront of AI innovation are influencing market trends and reshaping industries worldwide.
Meta’s stock has rebounded slightly following reports of potential cost-cutting measures and job reductions in its Reality Labs division. Investors are watching closely as the company adjusts its strategy to manage rising expenses and optimize innovation.
Palantir is trading at over 120 times forward sales and 180 times forward earnings, signaling investor confidence but also raising questions about valuation risks. Meanwhile, Nvidia maintains a market cap of $4.2 trillion as a leading AI chip supplier, yet competition is ramping up.
These moves highlight the growing tension between tech giants’ AI ambitions and the practical need to balance profits with heavy R&D spending.
Some analysts, however, warn that rapid growth may not be sustainable, with current levels of AI-related spending potentially overshooting realistic returns.

Analysts forecast $500 billion AI investment by 2026, transforming corporate spending priorities and enhancing economic productivity.
Analysts predict that artificial intelligence companies could invest over $500 billion in 2026, signaling a major shift in corporate spending priorities. This surge in capital allocation comes as businesses look to harness AI to drive growth and efficiency across multiple sectors.
Following strong third-quarter earnings, overall capital spending estimates for 2026 have been revised upward. However, investors are becoming more selective, focusing on companies that can clearly demonstrate revenue benefits from their AI investments, separating hype from tangible results.
AI adoption is expected to boost economic productivity, with significant investment already flowing into AI infrastructure such as semiconductors and data centres. The coming year could redefine how companies leverage technology to gain a competitive edge.
